Editors Will Meet (in
Norfolk in January
Norfolk. Neb., July 29. (Special
Telegram.) The Northeastern Ne

two-days' session here today, selecting
Norfolk as the place for the January
'meeting. Thirty were present and
shop talk the program, :
Willard Tighter
With Change Than
Even Tom Sharkey
They used to kid Tom Sharkey
about being close fisted because he
would not spend any of his hard
earned cash, but Sharkey is not a
marker to the big boy from Kansas,
Jess Willard, for being a money saver.
Willard pays his honest debts, but the
remainder of his coin goes in a bank.
It is said by friends who know his
habits well that he has the first dol
lar he ever earned as a fighter.
By iis thrift Willard has earned the
honor of being the richest fighter in
the heavyweight class before the pub
lic' today. Most of. his wealth is in
cold cash. An intimate friend -say.,
that Willard's fortune is not a penny
less than $200,000. His nearest rival
is Jim Jeffries, who is a land owner
in California.
Strange as it may seem, poor Tom
Sharkey falls away below his reputed
wealth. He has enough to live com
fortably on and that's about all. Many
of the boys who were thought to have
a nice little nest egg put away are
practically without funds. In fact,
dozens of the pugilists who have been
rated as the best off are really down
and out.
As to John L. Sullivan's financial
rating it is hard to say. Time and
again it has been mentioned' in print
that Sullivan is well fixed and has a
fortune put away for a rainy day. His
friends hope this is true, but one is
forced to believe that old John L. is
not as well fixed with the world's
goods as many might suppose.
Sullivan was the biggest spender in
his day of any boxer that ever held the
heavyweight title. He knew more
people and was more generally liked
than any of the big fellows, and he
certainly got rid of the long green
when things were coming easy.

AK-SAR-BEN MOTOR
RACEJCALLBD OFF
Omaha Auto Speedway Co,
Decides to Abandon Classio
Planned for Fall.
WANT JULY 4 DATE NEXT
There will not be any automobila
race in Omaha during the Ak-Sar-Ben
festival.
When the Omaha Auto Speedway
company obtained its 1916 sanetioni
last fall, it applied for sanction! for
July 15 and October 4, which will be
the date of the Ak-Sar-Ben electrical
parade. It was originally planned to
make the Ak-Sar-Ben event the big
race meet of the year here.
BuC sanctions have already been
issued to eastern tracks for dates in
close proximity to October 4. New
York will hold the Astor cup race
on September 30. Providence will
hold a 100-mile race on October 4, and
Philadelphia has a sanction for Oc
tober 15. ..
Thus it would be necessary for
Omaha to compete with Providence
for drivers, and it would also be nec
essary to induct the drivers to make
a hurried jump from New York and
then back to' Philadelphia in order
to hold a race at all.
Undoubtedly Omaha could sign up
a good field of drvers. After the race
July 15, Resta, Dei Palma, Ricken
bacher, Mulford, Chandler, Dusen
berg and the other prominent racers
said they would come out. But the
speedway officials decided not to
make the attempt because ot the
short time, which would not give
room for emergencies and a repeti
tion of 1915 is possible. So it waa
decided to call the event off. '
. After July 4 Date.
Omaha will strive for a sanction
for July 4 for 19BV-. A meeting of
the board of directors of the- speed
way was held last week and an appli
cation for July 4 will be made even
at this early date. -
- It is believed Omaha will have no
trouble in procuring this date.' This
year Minneapolis and Sioux City
competed with Omaha for this date
and Omaha stepped out for "safety
first" reasons. But both Minneapolis
and Sioux City "fliwered" badly this
year. Minneapolis, it is believed, will
have to go bankrupt, and Sioux City,
It is thought, is entirely through, be
cause the drivers will not go there
next year.
Thus Omaha should have a clear
field for July 4. July 4 will be a bet
ter date than July 15, because it is
a holiday and all business will be sus
pended that day. The race would be
the only attraction in town.
Rest in Lead.'
The contest board of the American
Automobile association has issued the
following announcement of the stand
ing of the drivers in the race for the
title of 1916 champion automobile
race driver. This standing includes
the changes resulting from the Omaha
race July 15: . v ,
